In the example from the sample resume, there is no period between the first and second sentences. In the revision, we have added periods to the end of each sentence and changed them into bullet points to make it easier to read. Throughout the resume sample, there are lots of stray punctuation marks indicating a sloppy approach to the job application process.

Use notable accomplishments in accomplishments section

The accomplishments section is great to use to showcase extraordinary feats and recognitions. In this sample resume, however, the accomplishments section sounds more like a list of job skills. Hidden within previous experience, are some truly noteworthy accomplishments worth highlighting. WRONG: Accomplishments Efficiently machined small and large parts to tolerances of .010 .Problem Diagnosis Used operational knowledge of systems, parts and components to solve problems that arose during assembly. Machine Operation Entered operating instructions into computers to start and adjust welding machines.

Make sure that if you include an accomplishments section that it describes noteworthy accomplishments and is not simply a description of skills.

Use the proper tense throughout the resume

As you describe your work experience, be sure you use the proper tense throughout the resume. For example, if you are discussing the work responsibilities for a position you currently hold, the sentences should be in present tense. For previous positions, use the past tense.
